| The Tiger
attributes have made him nature's most efficient predator. The Tiger
is closely linked with its habitat and of-course with its prey. But
he also has close ties with its co- predators and camp followers.
All the inhabitants of this closely interwoven system live in harmony
with one notable exception, Modern Man. |

Conservation Through Tourism
As our commitment to nature conservation and eco-tourism,
we fully support and contribute towards the welfare of this endangered species.
We make all the efforts to save the tiger an its natural habitat. We offer you
eco-friendly safari adventures. Together we're changing the world - one journey
at a time.
Nature Safari promotes Eco-Tourism, Conservation and Development
Nature Safari believes that we are stewards on this earth; that we have not
inherited it from our parents, but rather we are renting it from our children;
that if tourism does not contribute to the protection of flora and fauna, the
prevention and repair of environmental degradation, the economic well-being
of local communities, and respect for local cultures; it is not a justifiable
activity. Outlined below are the ways in which Nature Safari and Tiger Den Resorts
have translated these beliefs into action.
We link commercial tourism to local conservation programs
We encourage our guests to donate to a wide variety of conservation projects.
Although at this time there is no way for us to know the dollar amount that
has been donated; we are sure that the total sum is significant. We channelise
our donations through Care for the Wild International, U.K.
We provide tangible support for developing parks, managing natural resources
and community development
-Recently we donated 100 sweaters to the forest guards of Bandhavgarh Tiger
Reserve
-It was noticed that the forest guards would often fall sick due to mosquito
bites. Hence to fight this menace we donated 200 mosquito nets to the forest
guards and ther families to ensure they do not fall sick and report on their
duties regularly.
We have provided free accommodation, meals and transport ot the television crews
who come to cover the Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve to make it a more popular destination
for the tourists.
We support indigenous businesses by buying local goods and services.
-Having emphasized supporting indigenous businesses and people by buying local
goods and services we have pioneered environmentally sensitive tourism in Bandhavgarh.
-From the very beginning Nature Safari and Tiger Den Resorts have made a concerted
effort to buy locally wherever possible. We have taken this to the point of
actually encouraging local businesses to develop the capacity to provide services
for us. Arranging and promoting meaningful contact between travelers and local
people is one of our priorities.
We promote meaningful contact between travelers and local people.
-To promote meaningful contact between travelers and local people includes:
arranging home stays, and providing opportunities for children from schools
in India to participate in our ecology and conservation workshops to visit and
interact with children their own age in Tala village.
-Perhaps even more important is that all our guides are trained to promote local
contact on an ongoing basis. They consciously get to know the service providers
with whom the group will come in contact with such as waiters, park guards,
bellmen, and promote direct personal contact between our guests and these people.
We have developed sustainable tourist facilities that minimize environmental
damage
